Easy Cooking: Tamarind Soup (Sayur Asem)

God morning, lovelies!

We had rain for 2 days straight, sunny today, and so crossing fingers sunny for tomorrow as well. I made a new friend in town and she's Indonesian. 2 weeks ago I invited her for lunch at home but my son was sick. We rescheduled last week, and I got sick 😅 So tomorrow, hopefully, we will have her at our house at last 😁

Snow finally melted from any ground as far as the eyes can see, and the rain brought out the tulips. I think they are the tulips 🤣 You know me, I planted various bulbs always, and don't remember which area of the garden are what 🤣

So yeah, Spring hopefully really is here.

Today's recipe is a nice refreshing tamarind soup 😍

1/4 of a large cabbage
1 bunch of Chinese long beans
Half tin of sweet corn kernels
Tofu pow (optional)
500-700 g beef cubes

1 large shallots (2-3 if you are in Indonesia our shallots are hardly giant there 🤣 Spanish shallots can get way larger here, in Canada)
1 bird eye chili
2 1/2 candlenut
2-3 garlic

Coffee spoon tip of hard shrimp paste (terasi)
A thumb of tamarind, more for stronger sour flavor - watch the vlog
